Abstract
Trioxane based fuels have incorporated therein a sodium salt to enhance the luminosity of the flame. The mixture of trioxane and sodium provide a yellow flame compared to the substantially nonluminous blue flame of pure trioxane. Nontoxic sodium salts such as sodium acetate are uniformly mixed within the trioxane-based fuel.
Claims5
A trioxane-based solid fuel having improved flame luminosity comprising trioxane and 0.1 to about 5 wt. % based on said fuel of a sodium salt wherein said sodium salt has a specific gravity of less than 2.00 and said salt is mixed within the trioxane-based solid fuel.
